Mopar-fettled RAM 2500 Heavy Duty revealed at 2019 Chicago Auto Show

The new RAM is based on the 2019 2500 Big Horn and remains powered by a 6.4-litre Hemi V8 motor. Fitted standard to the Mopar RAM is a powder-coated RAM Bar (or sports bar), along with five five-inch LED off-road lights mounted to the top of it. All the guards come with new black wheel flares, while rock rails keep both sides protected while you’re out on the trails.

The beadlock wheels are custom-milled 17-inch alloys wrapped in Goodyear off-road tyres, and the Mopar truck also has the new rear-bed step tailgate which lowers the tailgate for easy access.

Other options available include a trailer camera that lets you see behind what you’re towing, a fifth-wheel hitch, gooseneck ball kit, bed/tub extender that extends the bed with the tailgate down, heavy duty bed liners, a cargo ramp, toolboxes, splash guards, wireless phone charging, Katzkin seats, a variety of tonneau covers, and side steps.
